Yep,only managed 1 pass in test n tune,torched a head,we were trying something different to improve things but got bitten by it,you dont get anywhere without trying new stuff,but sometimes the learning curve is steep Shocked.

In Pro mod Eric calabrese won against Pat mcdermot

In super street Joe Masteas won against Larry kelley

Super comp winner was Steve atkinson beating Muffler Mike sheldon

Super gas Daniel Kurtzman beat John Shurger

Powder puff Candy Larsen beat Susy Herbert,

I dont know the winners in the other classes,but well done to all that one.

I took some pictures and videos which I will put up later

Thanks Ritchie for all the updates. Sorry to hear about your race experience but I know you will come back EVEN stronger. That blue'58 turbo car looks like a twin turbo setup. Amazing work! Wonder if he ran it down the track?
Also like KWIK ET black car. Looks like it was a pretty good turnout.

That burnt car is part of a new group called HELL RIDES! Grin a spin off from HOOD RIDES...

Did you already run the MS230 heads Richie and hurt those?
Hope they can be welded and meachined back to original condition.

Must have been cool though to run against Roger Crawford in the Ghia anyways!

No this is still the little motor,the 4inch motor with Johannes heads is still on the bench,because of he lbs/CI rules here my car would need to weigh 2400lbs + to run the big engine so I havent been able to try it yet
